Dear Mods and Forum Members
I have this small window of time to communicate to you all.
Last week on Thursday night, thieves came and cut and stole from the area in which we live, the telephone wires that connect the phone lines and internet connections. I am aware that in the USA or other first world countries, that this problem would be corrected with immediate effect. This is not the case here in South Africa.
For example, a five star venue in our area here in Magaliesburg recently won an International Award with a variety of European countries competing for the best venue for the year. This venue several months ago also experienced having their telecommunication lines stolen. The thieves have moved closer to the town centre and it was only a matter of time before we could also expect to be targeted.
The International and prestigious five star venue that I am talking about, was forced to install a satellite independent connection to keep their business in operation. There exists a huge gap between the vast telecommunications field in which there is a monopoly and the variety of massively more expensive ways to have communications via outside services. The cost and length of time to do this as a non-corporate and much smaller business entity, has not yet been determined though my husband and I are looking for options. Telecommunication Services in this Country are not likely to approve reinstallation of cables after they have been stolen and simply refer us to more costly methods of correcting our plight. They have no competition and they too are in no position to either curb or prevent the thefts. This is the reality.
You might be shaking your head from side to side by now wondering how on earth this can happen. Anti Trust laws that you have in the USA do not exist here in South Africa. The Telecommunication Services in this country still make billions of Rands profits while communication cables are being stolen and the copper wire sneaked over the boarders into neighbouring states that have established underground racketeers who purchase the metals stolen out of the telephone cables. The authorities know that this is happening. Some areas within five kilometres of us have been disconnected for more than one year and further a field others have never had telephone networks installed and are still waiting!
I have had to travel some two hundred kilometres in order to obtain this opportunity to link up and send this message to you. If I have to explain the circumstances surrounding why this has been so difficult and why for me, this message is such a blessing to send to you, well, that might take another book to explain.
The phone being cut off is only the tip of this iceberg. I asked our Lord what He was doing. He is in CHARGE. of EVERYTHING.! I was inspired with the thought that it was time that I began to focus on my immediate present more personal situation and bring into real life terms the wisdom of all that I have been fed, nurtured on and taught here in BT and that my circumstances are in fact all part of the Plan of my Lord for my life.
I believe that those who the Lord encourages to pray intercession for others, are those who He is training to understand by direct experience, that all good comes from His Wisdom, Knowledge, Understanding and Love for us. I ask for your prayers.
I know that I have deliberately not disclosed my personal details to any of you. I have been in escalating trials and tribulations for eight years and since joining this Forum some two years ago I found a source of reprieve with great reinforcement and blessing. I have come to believe that no matter what cross we carry, no matter how deeply it hurts us, it is the same pain just with a different complexion. The intensity varies and the endurance also varies according to the plan of God.
I can say with absolute certainty, that if ever this story that I have seen unfold before my eyes, were to be captured in clear concise English as clearly and as concisely as it has happened in front of my husband and I, then it would make a block buster Movie. The bible has a description of the kind of corruption we have seen right before our eyes. The worst of human nature for me, can be summed up by what the Bible calls turning bitter to sweet and sweet to bitter. For me that describes the deepest most evil level of evil possible to Satan or any other deaf blind and depraved reprobate mind imaginable.
Our guidance has been without any doubt provided from our Lord and Saviour. What my husband and I and family have been suffering has not been for this worlds publication. I have great confidence that every word, thought, motive, sordid plan, greed, lust and envy will be exposed before the Great Judge at the White Throne Judgment. Before this happens I pray the through the goodness of God that many shall repent and turn to Him to erase this coming to pass. I shudder at what our enemies are going to experience. I absolutely shudder to my core for them. I really do. I am experiencing discipline and this is not wrath from God but His Power and Love that I acknowledge can lead me through death into glorious life with Christ who stands triumphant in victory. I am still sane and I believe this is why I have been caused to not seek refuge in human sympathy and have been held back because the story I have witnessed shall be announced from the Government that is not of this world. It is being reserved for the White Throne Judgement. I am not being melodramatic when I express this. I do measure my words and to say anything less would be to diminish or trivialise the vast scope and at times overwhelming evil and corruption that has been made very gradually but most plainly visible in parallel momentum to Gods protection upon us.
I have no doubt at all either, that my connections to this Forum are also being radically reduced if not cut off completely, in order to keep concealed what has still to happen in my life and to protect us all. It appears as if the worst is just around the corner and this present communication shut down which also coincides with other major conditions that have been threatening, changing and putting pressures on the lives in my immediate family, could be the aesthetic in the Lords time out plan to accomplish His Will. I believe this is how it is because of the Mercy and great Wisdom of my God the Lion of Judah, the Rose of Sharon, the Morning Star, my Comfort and Lover of my soul my Sovereign God and Creator. I have not been at liberty to disclose to you what the other conditions that have been pressing us and threatening my precious family and this small blip of cut off phone lines is my brief window of opportunity through which I am sending you this bigger picture now, which I hope makes some sense to each one of you personally. I know you by name. I feel that I could recognise any of you anywhere by the Truths we mutually embrace and revere that we have in common in our acceptance and appreciation of the gifts of council, wisdom, edification, fellowship and teachings here in BT.
May each of you come to more deeply appreciate the privilege, blessing and healing comforts of the Truth and be aware of the great wonder of each and every word you type for other eyes to see, other hearts to hear and other souls to savour when you write in this Forum.
This is not good-bye I do not think. This is Adios! As and where ever and when ever I can, I shall visit, read, laugh, cry, think, reflect and write as inspired in the plan of God and His most Glorious Will for us all.
Peace to you ALL
